]]> Comment on KohaCon 2011 by Koha Newsletter: Volume 2, Issue 11: November 2011 | Koha Library Software Community http://blog.openlibrary.org/2011/11/22/kohacon-2011/#comment-4952 Koha Newsletter: Volume 2, Issue 11: November 2011 | Koha Library Software Community Tue, 29 Nov 2011 22:18:07 +0000 http://blog.openlibrary.org/?p=954#comment-4952 [...] A few of us got together to work on improving Koha’s Open Library integration. On the OL side there was Noufal Ibrahim and Anand Chitipothu. From the Koha side, Dobrica Pavlinušić, Ian Walls, Savitra Sirohi, and I spent time discussing how to make things work. I then spent much of the hackfest adding features to Koha that would allow Open Library to become something of a central cover repository with streamlined uploading to it. At the same time, Anand was working on the APIs on the OL side that Koha would talk to to make this easy. This project is still a work in progress, but the current state can be seen at http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7152. For more stuff about the Open Library + Koha integration that went on, have a look at Noufal’s blog post at http://blog.openlibrary.org/?p=954.

Wish I could have come but even if I had seen it in time I am too far away sadly! I echo Colleen's request for more information for those of us who support the work of the Internet Archive but could not attend. Great news!
